Snow Hawk Adventure Northwest

 I am a little disappointed in the Northwest, Washington, Oregon, interest in the machine. I feel as if I am the only one out here riding one. Never seen another customer and sledders always ask me if it was me two weeks back at such and such location, and I'm pretty sure it was. Your friendly two guys that traveled around the country two years ago showing off the prototype 600HO, are the only folks I have ridden with, those poor guys were looking exaughsted by the time I met them at Mt. Bachelor in Bend Or. I wanted so much to continue on with them and spread the word. I know they will remember me there were only three other potential customers of wich one stayed in contact with me and still cannot bring himself to take a chance. Have two of your racing hats to prove it. I was the first person chomping at the bit to get one when edit Blank Motorsports received their fifteen units, but when I tried to negotiate a partial trade for my one year old Summit 700 141 RER, against an adjusted market value $8,699.00 503 fan Snow Hawk. At the time no introductory deals were being offered. I feel bad to admit that the price steered my faith in the product, but it was just two expensive at the time. The snow season was almost over 2002-2003 and I became aware of an add in the Seattle Times for a one only sale of $6,999.00 at Blank Mtspts. This time unwilling to take such a loss on my snowmobile I spoke to the owner, it seemed as if he was willing to do what ever it took to get one of them out there. I have known him for some time, and it seems the local attitude is "yeah we got it, how much you got", this time the terms were in my favor. Traded my prized 2001 BMW R1150GS, and received the Hawk, and the diff. He did ask me to report back periodically, and send anybody interested his way, no kickbacks of course, "You allready got your deal!" he said. I beleive he never hooked any body hard as I tried to show people. I can still hear my friend Martin's words when he tried it the first time we took it out "You traded that thing for a BMW?", he will have a tough time getting another chance. Must have crashed 26 times trying to understand what it would do everytime I tried a manuver, even wondered about the "BMW" thing myself that day. Learning those first two years had to be a sight, especially the road sections to the hills, and back from the trailer. I only got the new ski , and tank last year, yeah! Try flattracking solid ice roads that melt in the sunshine all day while you've been four thousand feet higher in the powder, keeping up with 800cc sleds throwing roost at you, running out of gass two times a day, (tried Polaris saddle bag tanks), broken headlight, and twenty pounds of your own roost on your back in the dark. Yeah I now have the deflector, and the yet to be installed handguards, the grip warmers can't handle the highside wipeouts. Getting those accessories was like pulling teeth from Blank Motorsports. they kept telling me that they were going to receive them free for all the leftover Hawks they had. Got tired of their disinterest in the machine, " if it does'nt sell itself then it is'nt worth promoting" even when your guys demoing the 600HO showed up after Oregon they just let people look at it in the parking lot. Since then it's gotten easyer to convince people to try it when they come running over to watch. This will be the fourth year with to date only two belts, and a pull cord have broken. I deal only with The Cycle Hut, in N. D., if I lived there, would work for those guys for peanutts. My friends point out that the machine never gets a break, stopping to eat takes away riding time, and R and D. I am aware of your other listed dealers in the state and have spoken to them last year before the season, Wennatchee stated they got the franchise only to get two for the staff. Olympia sounded angry and was done after receiving one 600HO. The owner in Yakima told me he would be demonstrating them at his home, and might call me to join them and share my experiences, never heard from them possibly because of last years lame snow. I convinced a good freind after talking to Blank Motorsports about purchasing their remaining nine Hawks at an agreed price. When we took in our money, we were turned down, seemed customers from Alaska could'nt get enough and were buying them via (ebay). In the end they still posses mabe four. That day when he wanted the (ebay) price, $4,200.00 he stated, "If I still have them next year you can have them all for $2,500.00 each." Of course when I sarcastically reminded him this summer he deneighed. My intent was to get them out there and show people what skilled woods dirt bike riders including women could do, I even intended to show how a freinds 12 year old son could do, he had ridden it both years by then. I was confident that I would at least break even, by selling them second party. Saw you guys at the 2001 WSSA expo representing Snowhawks, but informing me they were all presold. This novel I have just written you, sorry to say is even the way I speak, toooooo long, but I wanted to get it off my chest. Would love to hear from you folks, I assume the only way to get involved is to have a enormos bank account, which I hav'nt seem to come by yet, it's your fault you know, it ought to be elegal to distribute the drug "Snow Hawk". You can't get ahead very easy when you produce exotic toys for this big kid. Thank you, Anthony (Tony) Sexton (206)999-9729-cell or something to do while I dream.
